Chapter 154: Chapter 154 How Can This Be Considered a Scandal?
The first time was when Scarlett Jennings asked Momo Ross if there was only one before dealing with the Golden Bracelet.
Momo Ross said there was only one.
The second time, she noticed the dark aura between her brows had intensified and asked where she had been.
Momo Ross played dumb with her.
That was the third time just now.
Seeing everyone looking puzzled, Scarlett Jennings stopped beating around the bush. In front of the livestream camera, she directly said,
"The Blessing Bag you found yesterday didn’t contain just one Golden Bracelet, but a pair."
Her tone was so confident that it left no room for doubt.
The moment these words were spoken, the guests present, including Director Clark and the staff, looked at Momo Ross with shock.
Even the audience in front of the livestream was stunned.
["What, what? A pair of Golden Bracelets... is it the pair I’m thinking of?"]
["I remember now! Yesterday, Scarlett did ask if there was only one! Momo Ross claimed there was only one, so what’s the situation now? Did she lie? Did she secretly keep one?"]
["No, why? What’s the harm in admitting to finding a pair?"]
The netizens didn’t understand, but soon a perceptive bystander chimed in,
["Why else? Clearly, she showed off one and kept the other for herself!"]
["Impossible! My Momo isn’t hurting for money, why would she secretly keep a worthless bracelet?"]
["I run a jewelry shop, and with its craftsmanship and weight, I’d estimate that bracelet is worth at least fifty thousand."]
["Fifty thousand? My girl’s endorsements alone earn millions. Fifty grand is like a bottle of skincare product! How could she care about such a small amount?!"]
["Ever heard the saying? The richer they are, the stingier they get. Otherwise, why are there still so many tax-evading celebrities today?"]
["Just because Scarlett Jennings said so doesn’t make it true! I don’t believe it! My sister isn’t like that!"]
["Look at your idol now, that guilty look is almost filling up my screen!"]
["If Scarlett hadn’t pointed out the Golden Bracelet issue yesterday, Momo Ross could’ve ended the demonstration basking in the admiration for her good luck without anyone knowing she hid one."]
["Anyway, I don’t believe it! My girl doesn’t need money!"]
The barrage was in chaos, and here Momo Ross, after being exposed by Scarlett Jennings, had a moment of embarrassed shame on her face followed by a grudge against Scarlett Jennings.
Why did she have to say that during the livestream? Was she trying to ruin her reputation?!
Momo Ross gritted her teeth secretly, mustering all her acting skills to look at Scarlett Jennings, her expression hurt,
"Scarlett, I don’t know why you would say that, but I really only found one Golden Bracelet."
Evander Simpson stayed silent.
He could see a faint Shadow Energy lingering on the headboard’s Golden Bracelet, but he couldn’t tell if it was another bracelet.
Despite the uncertainty, he was more inclined to believe Scarlett Jennings.
Ariel Zimmerman was the same; she had no doubt about Scarlett Jennings. Without even needing confirmation, she turned to Momo Ross,
"Momo Ross! Scarlett said yesterday that the thing was cursed and could harm people! How dare you hide one yourself? We were roommates last night!"
Her anger even made her forget her usual demure demeanor.
Like Evander Simpson and Amber Livingston, Sebastian Carew also chose silence but was more inclined to trust Scarlett Jennings after the first episode.
After all, being able to instantly see through Dashiell Xalvadora, a serial killer, and uncover the bones buried in the house...
That was clearly beyond what an ordinary person could do.
Momo Ross, confronted by Ariel Zimmerman, turned red and white but still stubbornly denied it,
"Ariel, I know your relationship with Scarlett is better than with me, but you can’t wrongly accuse me! It’s not a rare treasure, why would I go out of my way to hide one?"
Momo Ross’s statement seemed reasonable, not only to the audience but even the staff on site found it hard to believe that a celebrity with an annual income of tens of millions would ruin her own reputation over a mere few thousand-dollar Golden Bracelet.
Scarlett Jennings saw that Momo Ross was determined not to admit it, but she wasn’t too surprised. She glanced at her face,
"Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday, after picking up that pair of Golden Bracelets, what gets contracted with isn’t your life or luck, but your appearance. You might have noticed, your face has aged five years overnight."
Momo Ross’s face suddenly showed a look of panic.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t look at her again, continuing,
"Yesterday, you specifically asked Evander for an Exorcism Talisman to handle the bracelet you hid,
But obviously, you failed. So the bracelet will come back to you again, no matter how many times you discard it, until... it drains all the nourishment from your appearance..."
Momo Ross’s pupils constricted; at this moment, she was too panicked to care about her reputation, falling into terror.
For a female celebrity, what could be more important than her face?!
She clutched her face, unwilling to accept the reality, blurting out in a voice full of collapse,
"How could it be? I did exactly as you did yesterday!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the fans who were still frantically defending their idol online fell silent.
The comment stream even had a momentary blank.
The staff who initially doubted Scarlett Jennings’s words were now at a loss for words.
Momo Ross’s words were essentially an indirect confession that she had hidden a bracelet.
Everyone, including Momo Ross’s fans, couldn’t fathom it.
If an ordinary worker did such a thing, it wouldn’t be surprising. After all, who wouldn’t be tempted picking up a hundred thousand on the street?
But that was Momo Ross!
It’s not like she’s desperately broke!
At this moment, Momo Ross’s manager, watching this on the livestream, was about to lose it.
She wished she could march over to the bed-and-breakfast and drag Momo Ross out herself.
How... how could someone be so stupid?!
The company didn’t exactly leave her penniless, yet she ruined her reputation over a measly Golden Bracelet!
The manager could already picture the audience mocking across the entire internet.
Even though she was heartbroken, she was not ready to give up on Momo Ross, whom she had painstakingly groomed into a rising star.
After some thought, she dialed Director Clark’s phone.
"...No matter what, get someone to help Momo with the bracelet issue. Please, I owe you a big favor for this..."
At the end of the day, it was a matter of personal conduct, not a violation of principle.
Although she’d be mocked for now, as long as Momo Ross’s face and acting skills remained intact... in time, people would forget.
After all, the internet has no memory.
As for fans, most of Momo Ross’s were brainless. To crassly put it, as long as they could see her face, they wouldn’t care if she had an abortion, drove drunk, or even did drugs.
The manager believed, this didn’t count as a downfall.
Emmm, how could this be considered a downfall?
